Greetings!

RedR India from its inception has focused on contributing to address the frontier challenges encountered by the humanitarian sector. Innovations & capacity augmentation of the mainstream stakeholders is at the core of RedR India.

The humanitarian sector is fast changing. The government agencies are diligently & professionally trying to deal with natural & man made disasters. The architecture & role of civil society non governmental organization is changing. Private sector has come forward to reduce the pain caused by disasters. RedR India is closely working with the different stakeholders to contribute to relieve suffering caused by the disasters.

2016 – 2017 was fruitful for RedR India in terms of gearing up it’s contribution to Humanitarian and DRM sector with special reference to its strategic goal of becoming a knowledge hub. This year we have created wealth of knowledge through our deployments and training courses on resilient construction of shelters in post disaster scenario and a design of hazard resilient toilet. Looking at the capacity building needs of different stakeholders, we have also designed and rolled out two new training courses at RedR. In all we have deployed 103 specialists in emergency and DRM contexts, conducted 139 training courses in five countries and have done 8 technical support projects during 2016 -17

We have intensively worked on field through our members, articulated our learning and developed knowledge products to inform the and reconstruction work. We have been constantly engaged in identifying and training the human resource capable of better responding to

community needs during disasters. Individual and institutional capacity building and evolving 3 0 I innovative methods of learning is a major building block of our work. We will continue doing it through 17

our multi-stakeholder engagement in the sector. 16 -

Against the background of the repetitive drought and drought-like situation in many states of India over the last few years, UNICEF’s India Country Office sought to improve its first-hand understanding of the direct and indirect impact of drought on children and women and the government programmes to lessen the negative impact. A rapid drought impact assessment was therefore carried out.

For a comprehensive drought impact assessment, 21 districts were visited across 8 states and multiple stakeholders’ including government authorities were consulted. Along with these consultations anthropometric methodology was adapted for nutrition assessment too.

RedR India deployed 31 sectoral specialists across eight states for the assessment, who designed the assessment tools and methodology, lead the process, compiled and analysed the findings and provided sector wise recommendations. These recommendations were provided as short, medium and long term actions towards mitigating the effects of the drought and build resilience at community level. RedR, with respective UNICEF state offices also engaged in constructive dialogue with the government of all the states to present the findings and the recommendations from the exercise, focusing on approaches that might fortify the existing machinery and services towards drought resilience. 625 work days were invested for this exercise. For anthropometric nutrition assessment 11 consultant were deployed for 169 days in seven districts.

National level drought conference was organized by UNICEF in collaboration with National Institute for Disaster Management during 15th and 16th December 2016, at New Delhi for the discussion about the recommendations of this drought impact assessment. The recommendations were further advocated for the inclusion in National Drought Assessment Manual revision. 08 I

It is vital to provide post training support to the participants to sustain their learning in practice, and post training handholding support is the critical post training support strategy.

RedR India’s Training of Trainers (ToT) is one of the important training course which plays significant role in knowledge transformation from organisations to communities and vice-versa. Newly trained trainers are often enthusiastic to experiment with new content and methods which they learn from ToT and handholding support provides mentoring to the trainers in following a standard process of session planning for effectiveness in delivering sessions and achieving learning objectives and needs.

In 2016-17, RedR India engaged in providing customized hand holding support to two strikingly different cadres of potential trainers, with two completely different objectives. One of the cadre belonged to Reliance Foundation Employees, who were just entering the realm of Disaster Management and were expected to act as master trainers for other employees and volunteers in the future. RedR India provided handholding support to eight trainers who facilitated five training courses on Introduction to Disaster Management.

Other cadre belonged to Save the Childrens community level task force 14 I

In this milieu RedR India and SEEDS India 2017 in New Delhi with 23 participants representing 17 CSOs from six states. jointly developed a training course on “Urban Disaster Risk Reduction (UDRR)” This four-day course comprehensively covers topics on UDRR programming for CSOs. The first part of the course covers orientation to the approaches to UDRR explaining nature of urbanisation, urban ecology and key guiding frameworks for UDRR. The second part of the training helps participants to understand elements, tools and techniques of urban risk assessment. The third part of the training course takes participants in to the discussion on UDRR programming with special reference to CSOs. The last part of the training course helps participants to demonstrate their skills in UDRR programming through a table top scenario based exercise on UDRR project development.

“Reliance Foundation (RF) has been at the forefront for providing relief and rehabilitation assistance to communities affected by disasters. RF’s strength in responding swiftly to any disaster lies in its approach to directly engage with the affected communities and in leveraging its strengths – human resources and information technology – to efficiently and effectively provide relief and alleviate human suffering. Reliance Foundation’s partnership with RedR India is greatly appreciated for building the human resource cadre which helps the Foundation to meet the demands on the ground.

Over the years, the collaboration with RedR India has evolved into a learning, development and technical resource partner which is not only supporting the Foundation’s vision in providing enhanced disaster relief but also building resilient villages for an inclusive India. Towards this end, RedR India has developed training modules on Core Operational Recovery Essentials as well as Introduction to Disaster Management for increasing the efficiency of Reliance Industries’ and Reliance Foundation staff while providing disaster relief. In addition to this, RedR India also supported in reviewing the existing village development plan of a RF village in Yavatmal, Maharashtra, from the perspective of disaster risk reduction, to help in the evolution of a framework for mainstreaming DRR in building resilient villages across the country.

The RedR team, technical experts, and training facilitators bring with them a uniqueness in approach, knowledge, experience and commitment towards building the knowledge 1 2 I and capacities of various stakeholders including CSR entities. We encourage RedR India 17
